So who thinks Tarot and Sabrina will inform King about Keene's allegiance? Somehow even I doubt it.

He doesn't like Dragon any more than Pete. He might listen to Sabrina but he slammed the door in Tarot's face the last time she tried to warn him about something. Not that she was warning him out of altruism.

I wonder how King will look on Animal Planet.

I hope Pete won't disturbed the wedding and rejected.

Uh oh, I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen in this arc now if Pete's involved.

Poor Bailey, she doesn't want someone else to hijack their wedding. I can't help but feel that the Miltons are exploiting Bailey and King's marriage for their own purposes.

Re: 2013/04/19 - Get Your Good Side

Wow... Pete is playing this remarkably subtly. My only question is how on earth is he going to get King into a position of having to accept becoming Pete's avatar rather than lose out with Bailey.

Wait, does he even actually need King's willing consent? Is connection to his followers enough? I don't remember, has this been explained?

Also possible: He could be playing for smaller marbles than getting King to be his avatar and instead just settling for keeping King as a dog permanently, which at this point is well within reach (until now I was under the impression that proposing to Bailey counted as "making a choice" but maybe I was wrong and it needs to be more explicit).

I had a cringeworthy pun about a female dog version of "The Bachelorette", but it was foiled by censorship. Too bad, I'll just have to leave it to the imagination.

maybe not, but there are indications that he may be making it work for himself. This strip indicates that the fact of King having a girlfriend makes him laugh maniacally.then someone bought Bailey's owner's farm, we don't know who. But we do know Keene would be able to afford a farm he didn't actually have plans for just to make it so Bailey would have to move to BG. and He's Pete's minion, so Pete would be able to influence him to do so.

I was wrong when I said that everything's going to Pete's plan, but I still think this part is.

Re: 2013/04/19 - Get Your Good Side

Daw.... That's kinda heartbreaking. Poor Bailey...

Here goes my mind: if Bailey really doesn't agree to all this exploitation, she may ask for the wedding to be another time, or to just not have it official. King would somehow end up heartbroken and discontent... which, if he still is the "dark paladin" of the U&U game, would be a power boost for him...

Darnit, Pete! If you are involved in this... LEAVE THE POOR CORGI ALONE!

Re: 2013/04/19 - Get Your Good Side

Two good ways the king saga "Ends"

A) King is turned back into Joel, and he tries to keep his relationship with Bailey. His relationship with Fox either makes or breaks itself, knowing Fox's nature, the relationship keeps. Joel wanting to be with Bailey is the "Catalyst" to starting animal/human co-habitation. How this affects "Meat" or animals hunted with meat I dunno, 99.99% of the human race overnight is going to fight moving to a special brand of tofu that keeps them alive just as well as meat. How Joel became King is exposed as magic, which has the downside of the human race, which seeks power, goes on another religious movement and crusades to "Find the power" etc.

B) Pete tries to turn King back into Joel, and he proves his relationship with Bailey, and is turned back into King again through some means (Declares his soul dog, dragon/kitsune turns him back into dog etc etc). His relationship with Fox either makes or breaks itself, knowing Fox's nature, the relationship keeps. The "Catalyst" of animals/human's living together does not happen at this time.

There is a third one, but its far darker in tone to what the comic is trying to head towards (Happily ever after)

C) King is turned back into Joel, and Bailey rejects him. Joel resumes his thoughts that animals are "Petty" creatures. Fox breaks up his friendship with Joel.

Re: 2013/04/19 - Get Your Good Side

For now, King *does* have a legal way out of being filmed:

unless something changed between first panel and the first time Keene introduced himself to King...

Keene can't force his will over King since the corgi is not owned by the ferrets. He's part of a social rehabilitation program, but that doesn't mean he has to accept every decision of the ferrets blindfolded.

I don't think its just Keene, Rock seems to be in on the undecidedly malicious planning as well :/

Rock is drawn to publicity like a moth to an arclight.

"End up"?

I don't think Pete IS manipulating things. HE didn't arrange for King to fall for Bailey, after all.

No, he just laughed like a B-movie villain when Dragon brought it up.

Cosmic JERKS.

Now I sort of think of Dragon and Pete being the Law and Chaos faction in this one game I played, respectively. Both have their own reasons for doing what they do, whether or not the actions are viewed as good or evil on the part of mortals.

Pete is forbidden from messing with King as of now... that includes sudden transformations back into a human being. It may be that right before the wedding he has to make his choice, but that would be about it....

Also, Pete is not allowed right now to mess with King, so he cannot directly influence the wedding. He has his minions there who share his vision, so that should be enough. The Milton Ferrets will make it so that the wedding furthers animal rights. King does not need to be Pete's avatar to aid him. Probably why he was laughing in the first place in that strip at the end of the Trial In Heaven Arc.

Yay, I get cute cuddles for my birthday strip!!!

Yeah, but that doesn't include that he isn't able to make King agrees to be his avatar, even if he deceives him or convinces him somehow.

I don't want to contradict you but:

Rick Wrote:

Pete is looking for an “Avatar” so that he can end his duel with Dragon. While Pete and Dragon can lend power to many of their followers, an Avatar is like a superuser an operates under special rules. By the rules of their duel, their avatars must fight until one is defeated in order for the duel to be decided. (Explained at Pete’s Trial)

Pete still hasn’t abandoned his plan with King. His deal with Keene is in line with the agreement he made to followers in general, explained below. In fact, until further notice, you can stop assuming that Pete will try for anyone but King, because King is his current best chance at defeating Dragon.

And happy birthday copper!

Still doesn't mean Pete needs King as an avatr for King to aid him, not just yet.
